A stove shrub, imported by Mr. Linden from Para, very 
attractive from its climbing habit, abundance of snow-white. 
sweet-smelling blossoms, and bright glossy foliage. Though 
belonging to the same Natural Order as the Violet, and closely 
connected with that genus, its habit and the form of its flower 
more resemble those of the racemose Indian Balsams. The 
curious twist of the spur has been observed by Martius alone 
in his careful description of this plant. It is a most variable 
species, and I believe that all the so-called species the genus 
contains, and which are hitherto described, are referable to 
APRIL 1st, 1872.
